The West End Centre is an arts venue in Aldershot that provides all kinds of activities for all kinds of people, but is best known to me for being the gig venue where i saw many of my first few gigs. It's vital for supporting bands who are just making a start and has seen local bands like hundred reasons, reuben, vex red and inter (anyone remember them?) play there in their early days.

Now it's threatened with closure due to lack of public funds for the arts. the petition may not make any difference but it can't do any harm can it.

I'm sure a few of you have been there. If you have, please sign it. If you haven't, sign it anyway.

It was Aldershot's answer to that kerazy 'nightclub' phenomenon. It smelt of sick and was horrendous. But they didn't ID, so it all balanced out. If you need a reference point, it makes the club in The Office look glamourous. And fun.
